Breast Cancer Trials’ Post

🚀 I am excited to share my new scientific article that has just been published: "Role of V-Y Flap reconstruction in Vulvar Cancer patients: multicenter retrospective study". In this multicenter study, we examined the effectiveness of V-Y flap reconstruction in patients with vulvar cancer, offering new perspectives and innovative surgical approaches. 🔬 Key points of interest include: - Analysis of clinical outcomes in a large sample of patients - Benefits of the V-Y reconstruction technique in terms of recovery and quality of life - Implications for modern gynecological surgical practice I want to thank all the colleagues and institutions who collaborated on this important research project. This work represents a significant step forward in the treatment of vulvar cancer and gynecological reconstructive surgery. #Gynecology #Oncology #ScientificResearch #ReconstructiveSurgery #Women'sHealth

New hub to develop advanced cancer imaging techniques A major new research hub will focus on identifying and visualising cancer using optical, acoustic and photoacoustic imaging. The hub will enable better coordination of clinical research projects in imaging, as well as developing low-cost, portable devices to detect the earliest signs of cancer. Daniel Elson, Professor of Surgical Imaging at Imperial’s Department of Surgery and Cancer, explained: “Optical and acoustic imaging within cancer has shown a lot of promise, and there have been many interesting, but small, clinical trials of different devices. We want to work together in a more integrated way so we can robustly test and evaluate these devices.” Read more below: https://lnkd.in/dZUbBB8b

Exciting News in Oncology! A potential breakthrough in cancer care: Liquid biopsy may rule out the need for chemotherapy after Stage II colon cancer surgery! 🚫💉 This game-changing development offers a less invasive, more precise approach to post-surgery treatment. 🌿 Don't miss out on the full story by Glenn Demby on how this technique may improve patient care and outcomes.

I am thrilled to announce the publication of our latest article titled "Application of Radiomics for Preoperative Prediction of Lymph Node Metastasis in Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis" in the International Journal of Surgery, ranked 2/212 Surgery journals. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we evaluated the performance of radiomics models in predicting lymph node metastasis (LNM) in colorectal cancer patients. Our analysis revealed that radiomics models achieved a pooled area under the curve (AUC) of 0.814 (95% CI: 0.78–0.85), demonstrating robust diagnostic precision in predicting LNM. Our findings underscore the promise of integrating radiomics into clinical practice, aiming to optimize treatment decisions and improve outcomes for colorectal cancer patients. 🔗You can access the full article here : https://lnkd.in/dike5VaM #Radiomics #ColorectalCancer #ArtificialIntelligence #LymphNodeMetastasis #SystematicReview #MetaAnalysis

This idea started as a 10 minute conversation at the 2016 Society of Neurooncology meeting with Paul Brown. I am greatly appreciative of being able to work with my co-authors and research staff in developing the protocol and ultimately opening the study in 2019. I am grateful to our patients and families who were willing to enroll on our study. This study used advanced medical imaging with 18F-DOPA PET/MRI for improved visualization of residual disease after surgery with a short course (1-2 week) of proton beam therapy for older patients with glioblastoma given with concurrent/adjuvant temozolomide. Results were better than expected with median OS 13.1 months with MGMT methylated patients having a median of 21.8 months. Thanks to Eric Mellon for a well balanced editorial on our findings. With promising results, Mayo Clinic (PI: Dr William Breen) has opened SAGA (Stereotactic Accelerated radiotherapy in GlioblastomA) large randomized study comparing short course RT vs. 3-6 weeks of RT(SOC) incorporating 18F-DOPA PET/advanced MRI. This study has opened for patients of all ages and allows for both protons and photons to better assess differences in outcomes. https://lnkd.in/gxMBHxdB

Continuing the theme of Stream’s University collaborations and peer-reviewed publications, here we focus on how work done with University of Leeds CPNs can potentially improve cancer treatment and outcomes by further defining and enhancing tumour margins in fluorescence guided surgery. Work is still ongoing with further in vitro evaluation and animal model data planned to refine the approach that will ultimately lead to enhanced targeted surgery for colorectal cancer.  It’s intended that the particles will be specially adapted to include gadolinium to enhance the MRI scanning potential and maximise bi-modal imaging capabilities.

Today is World Lung Cancer Day, a global opportunity to build awareness of the leading cause of cancer death and to highlight the importance of early screening and detection as well as supporting research to advance treatment and care.  Navigation Sciences is developing the NaviSci™ System to provide real-time precision surgical navigation to assure proper tumor margins for lung cancer localization and resection. Watch our CEO, Alan Lucas, explain how the NaviSci System can fill an essential need by providing real-time precision surgical navigation for lung cancer surgery.  #LungCancer #HealthcareInnovation #LungCancerAwareness #WorldLungCancerDay

Biopsy of an unresectable pancreatic mass is typically done under endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guidance. However in some cases EUS-guided biopsy is not feasible or fails.   Interventional radiology can be helpful in such cases.   The results of this study show that percutaneous CT-guided core needle biopsy of pancreatic mass can be effective and safe procedure with accuracy of 90% and no major complications.   Full article we just published:    https://lnkd.in/dvSucVGJ   https://lnkd.in/dEEAfzxv   CT image attached: M – tumor mass, black arrow – artery, white arrow – coaxial needle. #interventionalradiology #interventionaloncology #pancreaticcancer #oncology
